About

Where This Started


I'm a sales professional from Chicago, currently in B2B freight sales with a passion for tech. I finished my Finance degree at DePaul University while working full time in sales, handling 60+ customer interactions a day. I didn't have a roadmap. I built one.

Entrepreneurship is the family trade. I watched businesses rise, fall, and rebuild growing up. By age 20, I held a board seat at a home healthcare organization. I've seen sales from an unconventional angle my entire life. That's the origin of my professional why.

I communicate to understand and to be understood, in three languages. Off the floor, I'm grading my own call recordings against Josh Braun's framework and studying the craft.

Beyond the Desk

I read, I train, I journal. Ice baths every week. Family when I can get it, and volunteering with CHI-CARE. Usually with an iced caramel macchiato in hand.

Strategies

Written between calls, while it's still fresh.

Early in my sales career. Scripts, openers, objection handling. I study all of it. But one thing recently shifted my calls that I didn't see coming. My posture.

Something that's been working for me. Before I ever reach the decision maker, I try to have already talked to someone inside the company. Not to get transferred. To learn.

Most reps waste time chasing the wrong person at the right company. Here's how I avoid that using LinkedIn Sales Navigator and AI.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

Every version of me fed the next one. I'm still becoming.

The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.

I fail my way forward. Each one tells me the next move.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.

Step one is usually halfway. One taste tells you whether it's yours.
